Odell Beckham Jr. finished the Giants' preseason finale with three catches for 53 yards. He could've had more but couldn't haul in a wide-open pass from Jameis Winston that bounced off the turf.
Now comes the question.
Did Beckham do enough to make the roster ahead of Sunday's deadline to cut the roster to 53 players? John Harbaugh wouldn't say, although he praised Beckham's performance in training camp.
"I think he has done enough to make an NFL roster for sure," Harbaugh said. "He's played well. He's gotten better as camp has gone on. He deserves credit for that. He's done a really good job with it."
Beckham said it would mean "everything" to make the Giants' roster. He appreciated Harbaugh's endorsement and spoke fondly about his first five seasons here and his desire to win a championship. Making the team would make his comeback feel even sweeter.
"It's great to hear. It's in God's hands," Beckham said. "Just simply focusing on having the opportunity. It means a lot to me. I tried and I gave my best. Feels great to be back in that stadium. It's just so many good times, hard times that made me a man and I'm pleased with what I did. But always looking for more."
